Default clad, silver, wheats, and something you won't believe!

I spent pretty much all saturday and sunday detecting up at my camp. I went to a house down the street from the 20's. In that yard i found 5 silver and 9 wheaties. I also found a bunch of clad. The silver are 1952D quarter, 1948, 1964, and 1951 rosies, and a 1923 S merc.

Here's the part that i am very embarassed about. I know it sounds like something a 2 year old would do, but here it goes.

I was laying down on the couch watching tv, and i decided to look closer at some of the stuff i found. I was examining the '51 rosie and i held it up higher so it would catch some of the sunlight. I somehow dropped it right into my mouth and it slid down my throat. Yup, I SWALLOWED a silver dime. I really want it back, but at the same time i am not willing to look for it tomorrow. It was a good find but i think i will be able to live without it. laugh all you want, i know how rediculous this is.

happy hunting everyone!!
